Sorry for the vague topic, but I've been reading the forums for hours and am more confused than ever.

I used to have DirecTV but decided to get rid of it as it wasn't getting much use. Recently, I have become interested in C-band so I found a 6 foot dish that was for sale. I had the thought of setting it up in my backyard and seeing what I could find. The dish is set up for C-band reception, but I'm wondering if that's the way I should go? Would it be better to try and set up a Ku band system (or a dual c-band/Ku band system)

The largest dish I had prior to this was the 18 inch Directv dish. I'd appreciate any help or direction (links, words of advice, etc) you guys could provide.
